I have learned a lot from it. Running a home office is very challenging. Since I use Chandler "Running-To-Do-Lists" in my business too, I have the advantage to be more organized in fulfilling my daily errands and thus my day does not feel so stressful and packed. In order to stay organized with my emails too, I use Email Sorter Wizard, a MS Outlook add-in. Using Email Sorter Wizard is like having a personal email assistant that takes care of a cluttered inbox and gets everything organized. May I thank you for adding that startling info.

In working on charity fundraisers, I find the Waiting For list to be a lifesaver. I also just finished putting all my family's birthdays on my call list and errant list (to buy and send cards!). I also wrote a macro to sort by date so that every time I add something, or push it off, I can re-sort the list quickly. Then every day I copy everything for that day onto a Daily list. (I can't let go of my daily list!) It's all been a lifesaver.

If my notebook is not with me. I take notes in my cellphone and copy it in notebook when I get home. I have a... 1. "Later list", 2. Goals list and 3. Todo lists. I use flash cards for todo list. The current goal im working on is always tapped on the wall until it is completed. And I use simplegtd.Com to handle my someday/maybe/later list. I keep my appointments on the smartphone calender. I have another calender on my table which I use to cross of each day I did my goal. "keep the chain going" thingy. Basically my notebook, my todo list and my smartphone are the things that keep me organized and help me get things done. I use a notebook to write everything down. If my notebook is not with me.

I have created separate nodes for all the bullet points that are on my job Description, and can focus on achieving results on each of them ( I am HR Manager and most of my work includes taking new and creative HR initiatives to address various areas of my responsibilities) Freemind max has feature to setup reminders also. With this mind mapping tool, i can keep an eye on my long term goals as well as day-to-day tasks. When I am away from my laptop, if something pops up in mind, i send my self an email (through my windows mobile Cingular 8525) with "Action" in subject line, my Outlook on laptop automatically 'Flags' it and sets a followup reminder of one day (it is done through 'email rules' in Outlook) and then it filters the email into a 'search folder' titled "For Followup". For errands like Shopping list etc i use 'Tasks' feature on my windows mobile, that way while shopping as i pick the articles from the shelves, i quickly mark the items as done, and then can see only the active items.
